Headache & Migraine Relief

Find effective medicines for tension headaches, migraines, and sinus headaches. OTC and prescription options available.

Headaches are one of the most common health complaints, affecting nearly everyone at some point. They can range from mild tension headaches to severe migraines that interfere with daily life. Understanding the type of headache you have helps determine the right treatment.

Tension headaches typically cause a dull, aching sensation across the forehead or the back of the head and neck. Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol (acetaminophen), ibuprofen, and aspirin are usually effective for occasional tension headaches.

Migraines are more intense, often causing throbbing pain on one side of the head, along with nausea, sensitivity to light, and visual disturbances. Prescription medications like triptans (sumatriptan, rizatriptan) are specifically designed for migraine relief. Preventive medications may be prescribed for frequent migraines.

Sinus headaches occur when sinuses become inflamed, causing pressure and pain around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead. Decongestants and anti-inflammatory medicines can help relieve sinus headache symptoms.

Headache & Migraine Relief — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best medicine for headaches?
Paracetamol (500mg) is the most commonly recommended first-line treatment for tension headaches. Ibuprofen (400mg) is also effective, especially for headaches with inflammation. For migraines, triptans like sumatriptan are more targeted. Always follow dosage instructions on the packaging.
Can I take paracetamol and ibuprofen together for headache?
Yes, paracetamol and ibuprofen can be taken together as they work in different ways. However, do not exceed the recommended dose of either. If headaches are frequent, consult a doctor rather than relying on painkillers regularly.
When should I see a doctor for headaches?
See a doctor if headaches are sudden and severe, occur after head injury, are accompanied by fever or vision changes, or if you need painkillers more than 2-3 days per week. Chronic headaches may need preventive treatment.
Do I need a prescription for migraine medicine?
Basic pain relievers like paracetamol and ibuprofen are available OTC. Migraine-specific medicines like triptans typically require a prescription. Upload your prescription on PingMeDoc to order Rx medicines.
